Mare Nubium

“I like to remember things my own way. How I remembered them, not necessarily the way they happened.”
― David Lynch, Lost Highway

“Whenever someone who knows you disappears, you lose one version of yourself. Yourself as you were seen, as you were judged to be. Lover or enemy, mother or friend, those who know us construct us, and their several knowings slant the different facets of our characters like diamond-cutter's tools. Each such loss is a step leading to the grave, where all versions blend and end.”
― Salman Rushdie, The Ground Beneath Her Feet

“Live to the point of tears.”
― Albert Camus

“Literature is the most agreeable way of ignoring life.”
― Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet
